IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!

The long awaited NFL seasons starts this Thursday with the Super Bowl defending New England Patriots taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in Foxboro. Fantasy football aside this should be a fantastic game to kick off the season.

This weeks article is going to list who I think the top 10 fantasy scorers are going to be this week at each position. I base these rankings off of a number of things. These include; overall skill of the player, the matchup that week, any injuries to the player or other players on the team, and how the player is performing in the recent games ( like a hot streak). These aren’t all the factors that go into my rankings, but they are the most predominant. When looking at my rankings, good matchups will be in green, bad matchups will be in red, and matchups that are just about average will beblue.
